Knight Group Headquarters, top floor, the CEO's suite.

Alexander Knight set his phone aside, the screen still glowing with his last conversation with me.

He sank back into the wide leather chair, pressing his fingertips hard against his temples.

He tried to rub away the fatigue from too many sleepless nights.

But his mind was still filled with the sound of my teasing, tempting voice from our call.

He loosened his tie.

He closed his eyes.

He let his knuckles

  • His Dad Calls Me Baby   Chapter 137: Alex, This is an Office

    Alexander lowered his gaze. He didn't look the least bit embarrassed at being caught."Mmm."He admitted it frankly, his thumb stroking the soft skin at my waist."I watched.""Every day."He bent his head, his nose brushing against the shell of my ear. His breath was hot."I watched you work late into the night.""Watched you buried in work, looking so serious.""I watched you whispering secrets with Clara."My heart skipped a beat.I hadn't expected him to admit it so easily—or to have noticed such little details.I turned, looping my arms around his neck, tilting my face up to meet his deep gaze."The boss spies on his subordinate?"I let out a soft laugh."What does that mean?""It means inspecting what's mine. In advance."He spoke the words slowly, deliberately, each one weighted with implication.His warm lips pressed against the pulse on my neck, feeling how fast it was racing."I

    Knight Group Headquarters, top floor, the CEO's suite.Alexander Knight set his phone aside, the screen still glowing with his last conversation with me.He sank back into the wide leather chair, pressing his fingertips hard against his temples.He tried to rub away the fatigue from too many sleepless nights.But his mind was still filled with the sound of my teasing, tempting voice from our call.He loosened his tie.He closed his eyes.He let his knuckles rap softly against the desk.He really was losing it.The exhaustion was real.So was the ache of missing me.He'd been going nonstop—lining up the board, closing the net, pressuring Gerald, and handling Linda Voss.Not one misstep was allowed.His nerves were frayed to a breaking point.Only when my voice came through did he feel like he could breathe again.I was his sanctuary.His vice.He had to wrap this up.He needed to bring me

  • His Dad Calls Me Baby   Chapter 135: I Miss You, Baby

    My heart clenched tight, an old, familiar ache rising up.How could I forget?Sophomore year, I heard this art book set was going out of print. Limited to three hundred copies worldwide.I called in every favor I had overseas.Came up empty.In the end, with red-rimmed eyes, I begged Ethan. Thinking if he asked Alexander…Alexander would handle such a small thing for him.Back then, Ethan only had eyes for Winnie.He flicked his cigarette ash, utterly indifferent."A stupid art book set? That's worth getting worked up over?""Relax. I'll ask when I have time."I waited.And waited.Waited until the set went completely out of print. Until the last copy sold at auction.He never got around to asking.That pathetic hope melted away, silent as snow in winter mud.Now, that dream I once chased in vain lay in his hands.The auction house's wax seal intact, pristine as new.Mocking the cheap se

  • His Dad Calls Me Baby   Chapter 134: I'll Soothe the Jealousy

    The next few days were quiet.Alexander was genuinely nowhere to be found—swamped.Texts became our main way of talking.His replies were hit or miss.His calls always came late, deep into the night.He was flat-out exhausted, yet he still found a way to weave himself into the little moments of my day.When I first woke up.In the middle of my lunch break.Or right before I turned out the lights.I liked the peace.I caught up on sleep for days, finally.The bone-deep ache he'd left me with had finally faded to a faint memory.But some nights, when I rolled over, my hand would land on the cold, empty spot next to me.I'd wake up for no reason at all.A little hollow spot opened up in my chest.I'd even grown a little unaccustomed to the cold, empty space beside me.Habits were terrifying things.I'd grown used to his warmth against my skin.His tight embrace.The soft kiss he'd press

  • His Dad Calls Me Baby   Chapter 133: A Two-Way Affair?

    The air in the elevator turned frigid.Clara Hayes clapped a hand over her heart, gasping dramatically. She needed pure oxygen.Was her cousin getting cheated on?No, wait. He'd never even wanted to marry Elena Voss.So… mutual cheating?Ugh, no. More like two people going their separate ways.Her brain short-circuited. The gossip was too much.Luke Cole glanced up, spotting the three of them. He paused."Well, isn't this a coincidence."He recovered first, a lazy grin playing on his lips.His eyes flicked down to Alexander Knight's hand, wrapped tight around mine. The grin deepened, a flicker of something unreadable in his gaze.Beside him, Elena Voss turned scarlet. Her gaze darted away, and she ducked behind Luke's shoulder."Alex… Lisa… Clara," she mumbled, her voice thin with guilt."Morning."Alexander's face was impassive.He lifted his gaze, letting it drift over the cat carrier i

  • His Dad Calls Me Baby   Chapter 132: A Lucky Day for Love?

    My vision went black. I dug my toes into the floor, desperate to vanish right then and there.Perfect.Third day of our underground affair—already down and out.Day one:Ethan Knight cornered me at the office.Day two:Elena Voss blocked my doorway.Day three:Clara Hayes crashed our hideout.And all while I was in this ravaged state.This guerrilla warfare was a minefield.If this kept up,would we be headline news in the Knight family tabloids tomorrow?Alexander Knight remained stone-faced as he gave Clara the boot."Go to the office.Now."Clara squared her jaw, her eyes darting between us.No way was she leaving before she got her fix of this juicy drama!"I’m not going!I want to have breakfast with Lisa!""Unless you tell me—when did you two get together?Was it out in Southwest China?""Clara."Alexander’s voice dropped,laced with warning."There’s an overseas project

  • His Dad Calls Me Baby   Chapter 043: Keep Your Filthy Hands and Mouth to Yourself

    Ethan Knight's vulgar words hit me like a bucket of filthy water.I didn't even flinch.That regurgitated insult, dripping with malice and intended to humiliate, landed between us.Six years of humbling myself.All the effort he'd ignored.Now it was all just ammunition h

  • His Dad Calls Me Baby   Chapter 042: Did They Do It Right Under My Nose?

    My breath hitched.The searing heat and pressure from his grip made my heart skip.Clara, completely oblivious to the tension between us, chirped, "Can you give Lisa and me a ride back to the guesthouse later?"Alexander turned his head slightly, his gaze sweeping over Clara with d

  • His Dad Calls Me Baby   Chapter 041: Did My Brother Watch Over You All Night?

    I didn't speak again.The darkness sharpened my senses. I could hear his steady breathing clearly, and the occasional soft rustle of a page turning.Drowsiness settling over me, a dull ache flared in my stomach again.I curled up without thinking, my hand fumbling to press against

  • His Dad Calls Me Baby   Chapter 037: A French Kiss Right Here, Right Now

    I tossed my words out lightly, slicing through the thin, delicate tension between the two Knight men.Alexander Knight turned slowly.A cold, mocking smile tugged at his lips."Always finding ways to put me to work, Miss White.""What’s your advice? Go on.""It&rsqu
